Apr 19 2009Robotic Penguins Attack From Sea AND Sky
Festo, a company that doesn't give two shits whether we all die at the hands of robots, is back on their robotic animal kick, this time with robo-penguins. Yeah, and to make matters worsethe tuxedoed bastards can now attack from both sea AND sky. You only need to watch the first 2:00 of the video to see the penguins, then it goes on to showcase a robotic hand and robotic wall. Yeah, you heard me, a robotic wall. I've heard of some pretty sick things in my day, but that might just take the cake. And speaking of which -- which one of you jerkbags ate the last piece?
If embedded player goes down go HERE to watch the video.
Thanks to Dylan, Azghul and nerdilicious, who all wear robot-penguin coats because they're classy.

i'd pay to see someone die to a robotic wall... then i'd sit in awe... then i'd laugh histerically!!!
11. FIRST!!!! - April 19, 2009 6:32 PM
giving robits free will?! not a very good idea
12. Dinosaur Rex - April 19, 2009 6:32 PM
And my brother didn't believe me that penguins can fly
He's an ignorant
13. Tennist0 - April 19, 2009 6:46 PM
@11- not free will, theres a transmitter that keeps them in an area, they have free will to explore a certain area... and what are they going to do? hump you?

This looks like the videos you find in doom for xbox that show how normal things were before you were being chased by flying penguins and walls are trying smack you a la mario brothers this would make a great setting for a video game a cybernetic research lab that goes haywire
15. Madzay - April 19, 2009 7:05 PM
i SO want an interactive wall!!!!!!!
btw @ 13

I hope Festo remembers the Laws of Robotics.
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

18. Daisy - April 19, 2009 8:03 PM
you know i gotta tell ya! this whole robots thingy you got goin on (repetitively posting robot stuff) is really starting to get boring!! oh and this is a photoshop job cuz all the shadows are wrong and its like that movie never back down when robots attacked the world and took over the computer but then max realized he had no life then went out and started a pig farm where daisy was a flower that max named that he pees on all the time. 8==)

"An error occurred, please try again later." on both this and the Pac Man video's. At least our firewall doesn't block it, though.

I bet those people in the office/reception space where they were testing out the terrifying penguins were shitting themselves in fear.

@Cade:
"1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."
Don't worry, the military is already working on overcoming that one!
